Throughout this course, we have been studying the various books of The Holy Bible that apply to our daily lives as researchers. Some of these books included Proverbs, Job, Ephesians, and Philippians. It is important that we use our faith in God’s word to help guide us in all that we do each day including working as a researcher. These books help us understand that if we give our faith and trust in God that he will continue to guide us in the right directions as researchers by being honest, avoid basis practices, and having compassion and understanding for participants.
In the first week of this course, we started out looking at the beginning when God created Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:1-31. He gave them guidelines to live their lives just …show more content…

One of these is ethics. Proverbs 21:3 really sums ethics up by saying “ To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice”. It is important to always try to do what is right not just because it is right to do so but because the wellbeing of others is in our hands. Our teacher in the hall pointed out a study on immunization and that it caused autism. This study was proven to be false. God’s word tells us that we must have compassion for our fellow man. In Proverbs 25: 21 for example, God emphasizes that if our enemy needs food to give it and if they need water to give it to them because it is what God has taught us to do in caring about each other. It is important to help others is we are able to do so. It is important to remember that as Emphisians4:1-32 tells. us we inherit our faith that is based on good and …show more content…

Proverbs 14:1-35, “ we discussed that “hard work helps us the profit”. We must continuously work hard so that there is a long-term profit as God has told us to do. The long-term profit that God refers to is family, kids, and helping others as well as eternal life with him. As researchers, we need to work hard to solve problems and answer questions to help others live prosperous lives. God goes on to teach us that it is important that we realize that he is everywhere and it is not our prerogative to judge others that it is only his place judgment on others. It is important that we trust with our whole heart as Philippians 2: 1-25 tell us to do and he will provide guidance and answers necessary for life to

After years of waiting in anticipation for the ceremonial selections that most of the Erugents jokingly refer to as the early reapings. I exhausted most of the night overdramatizing each division to the numb singling out the defectiveness of both Undaunted and Canestor before coming to a definite conclusion of where I belong. Perhaps there is a reason behind why I do not conform to fit one division perfectly because, human nature can not be defined by one characteristic we are all selfless, kind, brave, honest, and intelligent in our own way. If being Deviant means that I am offbeat in an otherwise synchronized society following to the beat of one drum. I accept that I am insubordinate by acting on my independent free will but, how is freedom an ideal which our government is all about a crime punishable of death?

Comparing my first essay on generations and my most recent prompt on Fahrenheit 451, I am able to clearly see two different voices behind the writing. The first voice is inexperienced and overly casual for formal writing. It is filled with technical errors, such as inconsistent point of view, lack of comma use, and numerous informal words. The voice I read behind the first essay often contradicts itself and uses vague pronouns. It is the voice of a writer who proofreads once and calls it finished.

Bradbury characterizes the firefighters in Fahrenheit 451 as unoriginal duplicates in this passage by utilising sight and smell imagery as well as rhetorical questions to make apparent the uniformity of the society and its connection to the loss of individual identity. The characterization of Bradbury’s firefighters is accomplished through imagery to prove the uniformity of society. Having all firefighters look the same creates a certain distance between them and the rest of society, this alienation allows for easier/greater control over both the firefighters and the general population, which in turn . The firefighters were described extensively in this passage with major similarities to the fires they are responsible for, “their charcoal

Thesis: In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury conveys the message that there are many extreme changes and consequences in society once literature is abandoned; instead of gaining knowledge, other elements of media and technology are mindlessly absorbed, resulting in weak relationships, loss of intellectuality in society, and the absence of emotional challenges amongst people. In Guy’s society, relationships are distant and meaningless as a result of extreme media use. After Guy and Mildred realize they do not remember where they met, Guy makes a realization about their relationship: “He remembered thinking that if she died, he was certain he wouldn’t cry” (Bradbury 41).

“Made In China” (300 words) While reading the instalment in the provided source document resource packet, “Chapter XVI: The Life of the Peasants,” by William Stearns Davis, I began researching resources under the general category of American companies that outsource labor jobs. The description of the manner in which the Knights and Lords of the time treated the peasants whom they hired for manual labor reminded me of the way in which today’s American companies send jobs offshore in order to save money, turn a higher profit, and meet high demands in consumer societies. However, I began to wonder if saving a few dollars on manufacturing costs in the USA may create negative repercussions on not only the America’s economy and job market availability,

Fahrenheit 451 Literary Analysis Fahrenheit 451 is a book that I was able to read and identify with very quickly. I took away a few key concepts from this book more than others. While reading this book, the main thing I want to clarify is that this is a book that makes you think. This book left me with a lingering thread of curiosity and worriness that I continued to think about after class.
